JFK's grandson hits back as Trump orders assassination files to be made public The grandson of former US president John F Kennedy has criticised Donald Trump for ordering the release of thousands of classified files on his grandfather's assassination.
The order will also declassify remaining federal records on the assassinations of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr in 1968, and JFK's brother, Robert F Kennedy, who was shot dead the same year while running for president.
However, JFK's grandson Jack Schlossberg hit back at President Trump's executive order, saying there was "nothing heroic" about it.
JFK's nephew, Robert F Kennedy Jr, is the president's pick for health secretary and has said he is not convinced just one man was behind his uncle's murder.
President Trump had promised during his election campaign to make public the last withheld records on the case.
